[PATCH V2 1/2] regulator: pwm: DT: Add ramp delay for exponential voltage transition

From: Laxman Dewangan
Date: Fri Nov 18 2016 - 09:52:42 EST


Some PWM regulator has the exponential transition in voltage change as
opposite to fixed slew-rate linear transition on other regulators.
For such PWM regulators, add the property to tell that voltage change
is exponential and having fixed delay for any level of change.

This patch is continuation of discussion on patch
regulator: pwm: Fix regulator ramp delay for continuous mode
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9216857/
where is it discussed to have separate property for PWM which has
exponential voltage transition.

Changes from V1:
- Pass the flag to tell that voltage ramp is exponential instead of
providing delay.

+- voltage-ramp-exponential: Boolean, Some of PWM regulator has the exponential
+ transition in voltage ramp as opposite to fixed
+ slew-rate linear transition on other regulators.
+ For such PWM regulator, presence of this property will
+ tell that value of the regulator ramp delay provided by
+ DT property "regulator-ramp-delay" is exponential and
+ fixed delay for any voltage level change.
+ If PWM regulator supports the fixed linear slew rate
+ then this property should be absent from DT node and
+ property "regulator-ramp-delay" is used as linear slew
+ rate.
+
Any property defined as part of the core regulator binding can also be used.
